Yamaha also produced a series of styro panel speakers that were used in their home organs (and possibly other products) back around that time. There were even a couple of Fender guitar amps with them; dunno who made those.

Seems to address a non existent problem - who uses untouched usb power from a laptop to power an external audio dac anyway?!!
untwisted multistrand
I'm wondering if not twisting the strands makes it sound better because the electrons don't get dizzy from going round and round.

I remember once having a cassette player that was built into a small briefcase, when you opened the case the lid contained a large Styrofoam speaker. I don't know who made them but it would have been around the mid 70s.
At least they (sort of) describe what it does technically without major BS. Appears to be a USB adapter that instead supplies power to the client from a different power source than the host supplies.
Too bad it doesn't put optoisolators on the data lines and break ground entirely (not just the shield) to avoid the ground loop noise that tends to happen when you connect a USB DAC from a line-powered computer to a sound system. That used to plague me when I was supplying test signals from a computerized system, sometimes had to use a laptop on battery power to get the noise down to reasonable levels.
You have to love it, especially JA's appeal to authority. DO knows his stuff because he is what he is.
Scary though, all my kids were born after 1991 and they were still seeing if witches float?
I missed JA going to Hawksford, this stuff will never go away. It's the shite magnet effect.
Gotto love this one about wire with China syndrome:
The problem, as Lindsay points out, is that if the wire is thin enough—less than several skin depths—some of the signal can sink entirely through the center of the wire and come out the other side.
